Chapter 267: Bloody Landing (Part 5)
The Demon God above... that is the realm of the Divine!
Though I had long heard about the Lord having such power, experiencing the miracle personally is clearly more shocking than the hearsay rumors... especially when that miracle happens to oneself!
Lumier's heart was struck with profound tremor, looking incredulously at Lord Demon King standing in front of him, his heart interwoven with a myriad of emotions.
He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee on the ground, his trembling voice filled with utmost devotion.
"...Thank you for your grace. I will certainly not disappoint your expectations!"
The elevation of the Soul Level will accompany not only his current life but will also persist through his future reincarnations.
For him, a mere mortal, there was no greater gift than this to excite him.
Luo Yan nodded approvingly and then turned his gaze to the pirate holding his breath beside him—the one who used to be an Imperial Noble of Saint Sis of the Aus Empire.
The moment he met the gaze of Lord Demon King, Ticky felt as if every cell in his body had been frozen, trembling with fear in the face of that indescribable majesty.
Luo Yan scrutinized him with a piercing look, then spoke slowly.
"Although you attacked my ship, since my servant has forgiven you, and you have forsaken the false god and turned to me, I shall pardon your past sins... From now on, you and your servants shall be my claws, reborn with the identity I bestow upon you."
Ticky fell to the ground with a thud, sweating profusely, bowing his head as he trembled and swore an oath.
"...Thank you for your mercy and grace, Your Venerate Majesty, I swear to you and the Demon God... to serve you faithfully and loyally for eternity as your most loyal claw!"
Luo Yan nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the beach.
"Since you were once a noble, you must have experience managing lands. Now, your identity will be... the Governor of the Colony appointed by the Prince of the Empire, Roxey Colin."
Colin... Prince?
Ticky raised his head slightly, looking at Luo Yan in confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
Is there such a prince in the Empire?
He hadn't heard of it.
However, a prince, after all, is not a title and is not like a duke, earl, or baron that can be directly associated with a land.
Considering that the Aus Empire's royal lineage has continued for a thousand years, and its collateral branches are as numerous as flecks of dust, it is quite normal for an unheard-of noble to suddenly appear.
"Do you have any questions?" Luo Yan asked warmly, looking at the utterly confused Ticky.
"No... none." Realizing the cold gaze shot from the side by the cat-eared demon guard, Ticky involuntarily shivered and quickly dismissed all fanciful thoughts.
In fact, whether this prince exists is of no concern, what stands before him is the Demon King...
His tone clearly indicated that it was not a matter for discussion, and he only needed to obey.
Ticky took a deep breath and said, trembling slightly.
"We... need a name for this port that belongs to the Colin family."
"That's indeed a problem, let me think."
Luo Yan pondered for a moment, his gaze fell on the withered woods nearby, and a trace of a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A perfect story unfolded in his mind.
The evil Lizardman recites incantations of malice, and the brave colonizers encounter an undead assault after landing.
In memory of those who perished in the battle against the undead—
"Let it be called... Withered Wood Port."
